TL;DR
- HumidiFi’s WET token presale was overtaken by a bot farm using thousands of connected wallets, leaving retail investors unable to participate.
- The presale briefly pushed WET to $0.25, far above the $0.069 initial price, before prices fell.
- HumidiFi plans a new presale with a revised smart contract on December 9 to allow fair participation for Solana DeFi users.
HumidiFi, a Solana-based automated market maker, launched its WET token presale expecting a fair distribution among investors. Instead, a bot farm exploited the system, using thousands of wallets to purchase the full 100M token allocation in seconds. The presale, hosted on Jupiter’s platform, split buyers into three groups, but this measure failed to prevent the automated purchase, leaving retail participants unable to access the tokens.
Some real dry shit happened today.

Humidifi started 6 months ago from nothing, straight from the trenches of DeFi 1.0.
In those 6 months, for SOL-USD, we started quoting tighter and doing more volume than Binance. We did not kiss any ass or bend the knee to anyone. We started…
Bot Farm Snipes Entire WET Supply in Seconds
WET tokens surged to $0.25 in pre-market trading, up from the $0.069 presale price. However, the price later dropped to $0.15, reflecting the lack of genuine market participation and trading volume. The HumidiFi team confirmed through its X account that the bot activity front-ran other investors, including experienced Solana DeFi users.
HumidiFi Plans New WET Presale With Revised Strategy
Following the bot sniping, HumidiFi announced a new presale event with a revised smart contract designed to prevent automated purchases. The new WET token will allow previous Solana DeFi users to claim the asset and aims to restore fair access. The updated presale is scheduled for December 9, coinciding with the planned token generation.
The initial presale raised $1.39M in USDC, giving a valuation of $69M at the presale price. The tokens were intended for launch on platforms including Meteora and MEXC, but the disruption may delay the rollout. The HumidiFi team has not specified whether deposits from the sniped tokens will be refunded.
HumidiFi’s Approach to Dark Liquidity Pools
HumidiFi distinguishes itself from other Solana DEXs by offering access to dark liquidity pools, where volumes and fees are not publicly disclosed. This system is designed to reduce front-running and sniping risks, a persistent challenge for retail investors on Solana. The new WET presale will test the effectiveness of these measures while seeking to provide a fairer distribution.
The WET presale illustrates both the opportunities and vulnerabilities of token launches in the Solana ecosystem. HumidiFi’s corrective measures with a new presale and smart contract aim to ensure fairer participation and highlight ongoing efforts to strengthen DeFi infrastructure on the network.
